QUESTION: Is my green too light?

I'm working on my kidney plate before I move onto the other pieces and I'm going off of the MoM pics. I know the kidney and cod are lighter than the chest pieces, but I'm wondering if mine is too light and I need to find a darker green or if the color is right. Right now I'm using Rusto Spruce green as was recommended on here. Here is the kidney plate (ignore the racing stripe :b), and the kidney next to my chest pieces (cucblack).

Thanks!

try hunt club green its the proper color for rotj bud

Ah well that would be one idea - using the wrong color.. Thanks. I'll check the stores tomorrow.

spruce is 4 the esb gaunts i believe

something to keep in mind about the MoM exhibit it that the cod is not the ROTJ but the prepro cod.

Haha I have it all bass ackwards huh? Should I be looking at the AoSW pics then? I didn't see a breakdown of the difference between MoM and AoSW. I assume as long as all the parts are there and painted similar to what's seen in the gallery/on screen it'll pass 501st, but I'd like to do it "right", you know?

You can't entirely use one exhibit. The M.O.M. has a pre-pro codpiece, and the AOSW exhibit has a pre-pro left knee armor (and ESB helmet). I painted mine almost entirely off the M.O.M. pics, but used the AOSW pics to paint the codpiece to more match full ROTJ style.

Thanks Mr. Fett, that's what I was looking for. All I have to paint is the back plate, cod, and kidney (don't have the knees yet) so between the AOSW for the cod and the other paint threads around here I think I'll have it figured out.
